Carpet maintenance

First off, it’s important to remember that carpet maintenance should not be a last-minute detail. Taking care and maintaining the cleanliness of your hotel’s carpet should be a daily, ongoing priority for your establishment. The cleaning of carpets should be proactive, not a reactive response to soiled or stained carpeting. This means that the best remedy for your carpets is to plan in advance by setting up and implementing a maintenance program. A program that employs well-equipped and properly trained cleaning professionals is your first step to focusing on both high foot-traffic areas (such as elevators, lobbies, hallways, and anywhere food is served) and lower foot traffic (such an offices areas). Cleaning for each carpet varies from how much traffic they receive. For example, low traffic areas need a high performance hot cleaning on an annual basis and a pile lift two to three times a week, while heavy traffic areas need a high performance hot cleaning on a weekly basis and a pile lift once or more daily.

However, we all know that spots and stains will happen in the course of the life of any hotel carpet. Besides taking preventative measures, what else can you do when stains inevitably crop up? The best rule is: Act quickly! Blot the stain as soon as it’s found with a dry, white cloth or towel. Don’t scrub the area, as this can rub the stain deeper into the fibers of the carpet. Apply a stain remover (one that you’ve already pre-tested, of course) to a white cloth and allow that to sit for approximately ten minutes. Finally, work from the edges of the spill or stain to keep the stain from spreading. Remember, the best method for cleaning is acting quickly to resolve the problem.
